Hepatocholangiocarcinoma is relatively rare, accounting for only 5% or less of primary liver cancer. It is common in people aged 30-50 years. Patients with this disease have no specific clinical symptoms and most have no history of liver disease. Most of them have low serum AFP, while tumor markers such as CEA and carbohydrate antigen CA19-9 may be elevated. CT scans often show lobed or circular low-density shadows of varying sizes, with uneven density and blurred edges. Enhanced scans show that the blood supply of the mass is not as rich as that of hepatocellular carcinoma, and there are more fibrous components, delayed enhancement, and a "fast-in-slow-out" characteristic. There are irregular dilation of the intrahepatic bile ducts around it. This disease is highly malignant. Once diagnosed, it is usually in the late stage and is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. How long can patients with hepatocholangiocarcinoma live? |
